I'm thrilled to share our new paper just out in @PNASNews ! Motor “laziness” constrains fixation selection in real-world tasks -- amazing work by former @RealityLabs intern @csburlingham with @olegkomo @tsmurdison & Naveen Sendhilnathan pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… 1/n
Such an exciting set of open source models and data!
🚀New from Meta FAIR: today we’re introducing Seamless Interaction, a research project dedicated to modeling interpersonal dynamics. The project features a family of audiovisual behavioral models, developed in collaboration with Meta’s Codec Avatars lab + Core AI lab, that…
Using the dataset, the team developed lightweight and flexible model for reading recognition with high precision and recall by utilizing RGB, eye gaze, and head pose data. Detailed performance analysis and capabilities of the model are available in our technical report.…
Reading Recognition in the Wild features video, eye gaze, and head pose sensor outputs, created to help solve the task of reading recognition from wearable devices. Notably, this is the first egocentric dataset to feature high-frequency eye-tracking data collected at 60 Hz.…
Reading Recognition in the Wild -- open source! What's great about @RealityLabs? Interdisciplinary collaboration, industry-academic partnerships, breakthrough findings, and advancing the field by sharing open source data. It's all here with @meta_aria - check it out!
Reading Recognition in the wild is a large-scale multimodal dataset comprising 100 hours of reading and non-reading videos captured in diverse and realistic scenarios using Project Aria from 100+ participants. Download the dataset and model at explorer.projectaria.com/ritw.…
